Ohio Style Casinos

Allow me a brief sarcastic rant - The Columbus Dispatch reports new rules being proposed by Neo-Puritanical Ohio politicians:

"The four new casinos in Ohio would not be granted 24-hour liquor permits, nor would they be able to offer complementary alcoholic drinks to players, under the set of ground rules that House Democrats plan to introduce within the next two weeks."

Wouldn't it be interesting if you could just choose to gamble and drink legally wherever you wanted - not just at the casinos and tracks that have given adequate dollar amounts to the correct politicians in exchange for a legal monopolies? Nah, we'd all gamble and drink ourselves into Gamorrah...

HT Politics Extra

Update Nice story on the lobbying effort against this.
